The 4th of July is a time for fireworks, barbecues, and spending time with loved ones. But for some, the holiday can also bring on stress, anxiety, or feelings of isolation.

Here at Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, we want to help you celebrate your mental health this Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Here are some tips:

• 
  Set boundaries: It's okay to say "no" to extra commitments or activities that might overwhelm you.
• Focus on quality time: Connect with loved ones who make you feel good.
• Practice self-care: Schedule time for relaxation and activities you enjoy.
• Be mindful of crowds and noise: If these things trigger anxiety, plan quieter activities.
• Seek professional help: If you're struggling, don't hesitate to reach out to a therapist.

**Remember, your mental health is important every day, not just on holidays. **
